This week, Lawrence, a staunch Birkenstock Two-Strap Sandal supporter since 2023, switched to closed-toe slides—and styled them with a pale green puffer jacket by Dries Van Noten and classic Adidas track pants. Not only did the statement-making mules mark a shift in silhouettes, but these weren't your average Birkenstocks. She sourced the German brand's luxury, Paris-based 1774 collection for "a festive reinterpretation of the iconic Boston Clog," which was released late last month.

The Boston Clogs feature familiar band-free backs and silver buckle straps across the insteps, except with "luxurious pony-like fur" instead of suede. Not only did Birkenstock 1774 reimagine the classic covering, but it also tapped into the poppy red trend (a color that, before this, only adorned the brand's open-toe sandals).

Still, the biggest difference is, by far, the price tag. The original Boston Clogs cost anywhere between $115 and $175, but the pony-hair Birkenstock 1774 pair retails for $520. The same silhouette comes in zebra print, a pattern trend that would make Law's favorite Fendi backpack pop. Perhaps she'll splurge on the equally extravagant striped clogs, too.

Bye, black Birkenstocks! Red is the cool-girl color trend that connects all of Lawrence's signature It shoes, ranging from Mary Janes and mesh mules to jelly sandals and Adidas Tokyo Sneakers. And now, her fuzzy, fresh-from-the-box Birkenstocks are making her preferred shoe pigment even more seasonal. Want to follow her lead with crimson, calf-hair clogs of your own?

Days after the actor confirmed she's reprising her role in The Hunger Games prequel: Sunrise on the Reaping, Lawrence sent the symbol of resistance in the direction of the paparazzi who caught her out and about (whether or not she whistled is unclear). Yes, Lawrence braided her hair the Katniss Everdeen Way, but her street style look wasn't a method fashion moment. Perhaps she's saving that for one of the prequel's upcoming premieres.

Staying true to her casually cool uniform, Lawrence wore a baggy, "faded navy blue" jacket by the Tokyo-based brand Auralee with a Sesame Street tee and a flannel shirt wrapped around her waist. The sold-out style was as classic as barn jackets get, from thick cotton canvas to patch pockets and a boxy silhouette, and included a furry, chocolate-colored collar.

To finish her off-duty outfit, Lawrence paired red pants from Free City with the $60 Vans Authentic Sneakers that she can't stop sporting lately. It seems the New Yorker's go-to designer bags stayed home, but she didn't need them. The pockets on her barn jacket offered more than enough storage for a relaxed errands run she presumably was on.

Now, Lawrence owns button-down shirts by Auralee, but her coat rack only recently welcomed the barn jacket trend. Maybe her friend, Dakota Johnson (a fan of The Row's canvas coats), influenced Lawrence to give her track jackets, trenches, and dusters a day off this winter.

Even so, Lawrence appears to be ahead of the fur-trimmed curve. Barn jackets usually boast corduroy collars, but this way, no scarf is needed. Follow Lawrence's lead and volunteer as tribute to try barn jackets with fuzzy collars this winter season.

While versions of the intricately embroidered coat have been around since the Qing Dynasty, their comeback this year can be credited to Conner Ives. The 30-year-old designer behind the viral "Protect the Dolls" tee showed the first iteration of the Silk Robe—a hip-grazing black style with a fur-covered collar and cuffs—on the Fall/Winter 2025 runway.

Since then, Ives revisited the intricately embroidered piece for Spring 2026, Fall 2026, and most recently, Spring 2027. Now, the dramatic, "demi couture" design, made from crepe silk satin and vintage fur, has earned endorsements from Zoë Kravitz, Sienna Miller, Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lawrence, and Laura Harrier.

Early in the year, Kravitz debuted a bespoke icy blue robe by Conner Ives at a Saturday Night Live after-party with her fiancé, Harry Styles. Then, over the summer, the Spring 2026 show's neon green version caught the eye of Sienna Miller, who styled it with an equally boudoir-inspired slip dress.

Fast forward to Oct. 2026, and Bieber boarded the Silk Robe bandwagon with a sold-out, cherry blossom-embroidered style. And, as recently as this week, Kendall Jenner wore the opening coat from Conner Ives's Fall 2026 collection—a butter yellow, calf-sweeping version—to a dinner date with Dakota Johnson.

The numbers are supporting the surge in popularity. Fashion search engine Lyst praised the label's 49% quarter-on-quarter growth for Q3, highlighting how "the London-based designer draw[s] on American identity, nostalgia, and vintage clothing, with many pieces made using deadstock or vintage garments."

Ives aside, the outerwear department seems to be dipping into the archives. From military jackets and funnel-neck finds to leather bombers, the year's biggest trends (beloved by Daisy Edgar-Jones, Bella Hadid, and Jenner) have sat on vintage store coat racks for decades. For proof, look back to the '70s, when Penny Lane coats, mid- to long-length styles with nearly identical trim along the collar and cuffs, were all the rage.

Yes, Conner Ives—and his class of casually cool coats—is leading the robe-looking charge, but the Hollywood-wide duster domination doesn't stop there. This week, Lawrence (who wore Ives's original Demi Couture Robe on a red carpet in Oct. 2025) tested Colleen Allen's velvety take on the trend.

The chartreuse-colored coat sold out, but not just because it was spotted on Lawrence. Thanks to Fall 2026 Couture collections from Zuhair Murad, Balenciaga, Stéphane Rolland, and more, sidewalk-sweeping styles with opulent outer shells are a hot ticket item this winter.

What goes around comes around; dusters are no exception. The silhouette—complete with structured shoulders, statement lapels, and a calf-sweeping hem—won over Ashley Olsen, Kravitz, Jenner, and more in 2023. One year later, coats with shearling or fur collars (seen on Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Katie Holmes) traded places with the relaxed rendition. Meanwhile, Chloé and Burberry presented ankle-length Penny Lane-adjacent pieces.

That's not to say today's robe trend feels outdated or overdone. In fact, with the recent uptick in fur-garnished designs, it seems style setters realized they're a perfect pick for the holiday season. Think about it: They're just as warm as puffer coats, except twice as elegant. And you won't need to wrap a bulky scarf around your neck—their chunky fur collars will have the same effect. Even if you go the shearling-less route à la Lawrence, indoor-outdoor dusters adorned in velvet, silk, or satin prioritize comfort like a polished bathrobe.

Take it from the aforementioned A-listers: Dusters have the potential to romanticize everything, from errand runs to festive family get-togethers.

One thing the red carpet didn't get? Cool-girl looks from not one, but two Hadid sisters. Early in the week, Bella stayed true to her signature stovepipe jeans trend in (still available) Frame denim. She paired the '90s throwback with a fresh-from-the-box top-handle tote and leather jacket, both by Balmain.

Not long after Bella took her decadent leather duo for a spin, Gigi welcomed soft, slipper-style shoes to her ever-expanding collection of Miu Miu loafers. In New York City, the Guest In Residence founder stopped by her flagship store in her knitwear brand's best-selling Everywear Pants, Miu Miu's $8,200 Waxed Leather Jacket, and the Ruches Suede Loafers. The next day, Gigi celebrated the opening of her label's new Madison Avenue location in her go-to Kookai tank (the same halter top she wore backstage at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show) and a plaid pencil skirt from Guest In Residence.

Now, the Hadids weren't the only stars serving enviable late fall looks this week. Katie Holmes, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lawrence followed the Hadids' lead in layered seasonal style, too. For the best celebrity fashion moments from the final week of October (and ways to recreate them in November and beyond), keep scrolling.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid started Sweatpants and Slippers Season in a surprising amount of Miu Miu, including the intentionally weathered, Waxed Suede Leather Jacket. Then, for her "groutfit," Gigi color-coordinated a light gray cardigan and Guest In Residence's Everywear Pants, a relaxed sweats-adjacent style she's worn on repeat since 2022.

As for her accessories, she sourced Miu Miu for the Pocket Top-Handle Tote and matching Ruches Loafers in chestnut suede.

Fast forward to the opening party of NYC's second Guest In Residence store, and Gigi traded the layers for her favorite (sold-out) Kookai tank top, a plaid, wrap-style skirt that she designed, and a chocolate leather biker jacket. To finish the fall look, the model carried a bucket bag with bright pink flowers and slipped on two-tone, cowboy-coded boots.

Bella Hadid

Meanwhile, in L.A., Bella went with black leather. First, she tucked a graphic tee beneath Balmain's peplum Signature Jacket, which complemented her belted, black Sphynx Bag. Embracing the '90s edge of the Balmain pieces, she sourced Frame for the low-rise, bootcut Rodeo Jeans. While Bella's beloved cowboy boots would've worked with the leather-and-denim look, she chose slingback vintage Prada pumps instead.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes, a Banana Republic loyalist, sampled the brand's newest designer collaboration on her NYC stroll: Banana Republic x Zankov. She stacked a striped, sold-out sweater beneath a leather jacket and traded her beloved Icon Classic Wide-Leg Jean for dark denim. She then accessorized with soft suede loafers and a Toteme top-handle bag. Fun (fashion) fact: The actor wore the same tote with another full Banana Republic 'fit in 2024.

Jennifer Lawrence

One year after Jennifer Lawrence walked the red carpet in Conner Ives's celebrity-beloved Demi Couture Robe, her off-duty winter outfit tested a different take on the duster trend. The actor chose Colleen Allen's velvety chartreuse, sidewalk-sweeping style, which matched her Miu Miu cardigan. Channeling the housecoat's retro charm, Lawrence swapped sneakers for the indoor-outdoor slipper trend in black suede. Her finishing touch? A month-old basket bag from Tory Burch's Spring 2027 collection.

Rihanna

This week, Rihanna added the most autumnal color combination to her early-winter wardrobe. Looking fresh from a pumpkin patch, the pop star zoomed from CVS to Giorgio Baldi in a cool-toned brown sweater from Phoebe Philo and olive green bottoms.

While her security carried one of her monogrammed Louis Vuitton Speedy Bags, RiRi accessorized with bug-eye sunglasses, supersized hoop earrings, and the high-vamp heels trend.

Sienna Miller

Take it from Sienna Miller: The London girl look isn't always prim and proper. While walking around London with her daughter, Marlowe, Miller made her baggy denim overalls less Americana-coded with high-vamp Phoebe Philo flats (the same sold-out slippers she wore on the red carpet this summer) and Bottega Veneta's $9,100 Small Cabat Bag. While her Polo Ralph Lauren bibs aren't available to shop anymore, Gap slashed 50 percent off a similar pair.

The $60 low-top design debuted in 1966, but the recognizable black-and-white canvas and chunky rubber soles looked more modern than ever on Lawrence. While on a walk with her husband, Cooke Maroney, the actor went full cool-mom mode in the sk8r boi-beloved Vans, a white button-down styled underneath a crewneck sweatshirt, a taupe trench coat, and light-wash jeans. Maroney also got the Vans memo, but slipped on the $75 Old Skool Shoes instead.

Thanks to the cropped style, the denim didn't shield her take on the red socks trend (a go-to for New York girls right now). In fact, Zoë Kravitz, her former X-Men: First Class co-star, wore an almost identical pair the day prior. As for the rest of her accessories, the Oscar winner elevated the 60-year-old sneakers with slim sunglasses and the pendant necklace trend.

As mentioned, Lawrence has a long history with Vans, dating back to her Hunger Games: Mockingjay days. The California-based brand's shoes haven't stayed in her archives, though. Two years ago, she started regularly styling the same Authentic Sneakers again, both in black and lemon yellow. As recently as Oct. 1, 2026, she accessorized her chartreuse Miu Miu cardigan and gray Carhartt jeans with sold-out, studded navy blue Vans.

This year, Lawrence isn't the only celebrity bringing back Vans. Olivia Rodrigo, for one, takes center stage on The Unraveled Tour in the same black-and-white sneakers as Lawrence. Rihanna, Teyana Taylor, Kristen Stewart, and Simone Ashley are sourcing the Authentic Sneakers collection on repeat, too.

To partake in the Vans renaissance, shop the Lawrence-approved pairs below.

While J.Law attended a single Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris (Dior, of course), that didn't stop the actor from bringing a street style souvenir back Stateside. Recycling one of her favorite seasonal formulas, she stacked a cozy crewneck sweater over a peekaboo graphic tee, with light-wash jeans, shearling slippers (she traded her go-to Uggs for The Row's Hugo Slides), and the pièce de résistance: the most unmissable bowling bag in a blinding shade of green.

The brand behind the patent leather purse remains a mystery, but it shared the same curved silhouette as her $33,000 croc Lady Bag by The Row (one she also styles with sweaters and slippers). Letting the bag's piercing pigment do all the talking, Lawrence chose simple accessories, including the pendant necklace trend and cat-eye sunglasses.

If you're wondering, "Why the neon, and why now?" Well, lately, Lawrence has been playing with pops of color like tomato red, pale purple, aquamarine, and tangerine, but neon is new for her.

Or maybe French girls had something to do with it. The street style scene at Paris Fashion Week was very pro-slime green. And the color didn't just decorate shirts and sidewalk-sweeping skirts, but Fashion Week-worthy totes, too. Locals stayed especially loyal to Balenciaga's green bags, including the Rodeo and the Le City.

Almost overnight, neon green dominated the accessories department, appearing on mittens, hosiery, pointy pumps, and more. Meanwhile, another showgoer presented it as a maximalist alternative to classic white T-shirts.

Yes, neon green is a French girl-tested trend now, but back in the day, everyone from Hailey Bieber to Avril Lavigne endorsed the striking purse shade. Now, it's back for seconds: Gabriela Hearst, Vaquera, Patrizia Pepe, and Christopher Esber presented purses in the divisive hue during Spring 2027 showcases, too.

If you, like Lawrence, can't wait for spring to sample the unconventional color trend, shop the It bags below.

Shop Neon Green Bags Inspired by Jennifer Lawrence

For an outing in New York City on October 16, Lawrence wore a long beige duster coat, with a long black skirt and a white T-shirt underneath. Around her neck, the actress wore a green scarf embroidered with a yellow floral pattern. But it was her accessories that really stood out.

Notably, Lawrence switched out her eye-catching fluffy Valentino flip-flops for a pair of classic black leather brogues. The stylish footwear choice is likely to become even more popular as the weather cools.

Meanwhile, the Hunger Games star carried a bag that perfectly encapsulates one of Fall 2026's comeback trends: Guidi's Small Golf Handle Bag GO02 in Black.

The top-handle bag has returned to the runway in a big way in 2026, and it's clear that the classic accessory is about to be everywhere again as the year draws to an end.

As always, Lawrence appears to know exactly which accessories are about to be all the rage.

Every year, when Slipper Season resumes, shearling-lined shoes take over the celebrity street style circuit. Lawrence, for one, recently reunited with her beloved $195 Ugg boots. But the unwelcome heatwave in New York City sent them back to storage: sadly, flip-flop-friendly forecasts remain the norm. But that didn't stop her from styling the sandals in an autumnal way.

On October 15, Lawrence wore a gray sweater with a white coat, ripped jeans, and the slightly strange pièce de résistance: vintage Valentino flip-flops, covered with fur.

While the questionably seasonal sandals are made for today's freaky shoe supporters, Valentino introduced them in Fall/Winter 2017. Then-creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli presented them as a cold-weather pair. I wonder if the almost decade-old design—specifically the rubber bottoms beneath the fur—kept her warm at Troye Sivan's concert. In case they didn't, Lawrence sported a red velvet scarf, too.

Polarizing fur shoes aren't new. In the late 2010s, everyone from Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid to Gigi Hadid and Rihanna put comfort first in shearling shoes that deserved a double take. Back in Oct. 2020, Bieber's black flip-flops took the trend to the next level: fur covered every square inch of the slip-on shoes.

Now, I'm not telling you to try furry flip-flops this fall (I don't know if I'm brave enough). However, if you're having trouble saying goodbye to the slides, these similar styles could help extend their shelf life. At least take a peek at the pairs below. I know J.Law would.

Shop Furry Flip-Flops Inspired by Jennifer Lawrence

Because it was a balmy 80-degree day in the West Village, Lawrence traded a cozy fall 'fit for a leftover summer look. The energy was giving white-tee-and-jeans-with-a-leather-jacket—with one major substitution.

Lawrence styled a white, scoop-neck tank top with flared jeans and black flip-flops. She then chose to opt out of a moto jacket, instead layering on a thick leather belt. Decorated from buckle-to-back in silver studs, the piece was far too bulky to fit into her pant loops. Still, that didn't stop the New Yorker.

For her finishing touches, Lawrence coupled a chunky statement necklace with her go-to Laia Pocket Bag from Gimaguas and a pair of sold-out sunglasses.

While the brand behind Lawrence's belt remains a mystery, she loves to break up a look with something bold at her waist. You'll rarely spot her in a basic black leather belt, though. She prefers high-fashion twists on the timeless style (see: her Alaïa corset-style cincture or this silky scarf-turned-belt moment).

Made-for-Lawrence belts dominated Spring/Summer 2027 runways. At Celine and Chanel, creative directors Michael Rider and Matthieu Blazy supersized the accessory to bustier-style widths. Meanwhile, at Acne Studios and Junya Watanabe, models showcased three different belts at once.

Don't wait until next spring to start sampling Fashion Month's stand-out accessory. And don't reserve the runway-ready trend for "special occasions," either. Your next Citi Bike ride will do.

To secure yourself a surplus of compliments at each intersection, shop the Lawrence-esque belts below.

It's no surprise that Lawrence is beginning Boots Season in her beloved Uggs. She's been a staunch supporter of the San Francisco-based brand since 2014, pairing them with five-figure bags by The Row and Dior, designer outerwear, and all the loungewear in between. While Gomez and Bella Hadid share an affinity for Ugg boots with shorter shafts, Lawrence sticks to fuzzy suede footwear that stretches well beyond her ankles. This year, the Classic Short II Boots returned to her regular rotation in late September, following an eight-month hiatus.

Fast forward to October 5, and the Oscar winner took the Chestnut Suede color for another spin in New York City. While she slipped the calf-high shafts beneath vintage gray Carhartt jeans, the structured foam soles and earthy brown toe boxes confirmed she was indeed wearing Uggs. She finished her laid-back look with Loro Piana's Belted Dwight Coat (in the same chestnut shade as her shoes), Phoebe Philo's black suede Gig Bag, and Dior sunglasses.

Crisp 60-degree days in the city are keeping Lawrence's Ugg boots busy this week. The next day, she styled the Classic Short II shoes with another layered-up look, featuring a mossy green, cloud-like puffer coat from Dries Van Noten, light gray Colby Pants by La Ligne, and the same Phoebe Philo tote. The boots were barely visible beneath her wide-leg pants, but fans instantly recognized the Ugg hallmarks: the chestnut brown color and soft suede finish.

Sure, it would've been a treat to see Lawrence's Uggs on sale this Amazon Prime Day, right alongside Hadid's Vivaia ballet sneakers and Dakota Johnson's Levi's jeans. But I'm not patient enough to wait for Black Friday. And how often can I add a Lawrence-approved piece to my fall collection for under $200? Just the rarity of the wallet-friendly find justified placing my order.

Luckily, the actress's pants are still available to shop and hail from Banana Republic's collaboration with La Ligne. The Wide-Leg Cotton Chinos come in two different shades—Campground Green or Khaki Beige—and retail for just $200.

Lawrence's flip-flops—Archies Footwear Arch Support Flip-Flops in Black—prove that the actress refuses to sacrifice comfort while walking around the city. The stylish, laidback footwear paired perfectly with the khaki pants trend—which New York royalty Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy helped make famous decades ago.

Keeping the rest of her outfit casual, Lawrence styled her khaki pants with a white vest and a long black sheer cardigan.

Sleek accessories helped to elevate her day-off look, including a Gimaguas Brown Laia Pocket Bag, which retails for just $435, and Dior's Oblique B1I Shiny Black Butterfly Sunglasses.

For jewelry, Lawrence opted for two classic rewears—her engagement ring from husband Cooke Maroney, and Yi Collection's Pyramid Large Ring in Emerald, which costs $8,150.

The weather might be colder, but Lawrence is clearly committed to her flip-flops, and who can blame her?

Shop Outfits Inspired by Jennifer Lawrence

A lot of the A-listers skipped runway shows in New York City, London, and Milan. On September 29, Jonathan Anderson—and the first anniversary of the creative director's Dior debut—brought Lawrence and Rihanna out of hiding. While they're both brand ambassadors, their front-row outfits followed completely different dress codes: J.Law's nightgown gave pajama dressing an elegant Dior twist, and Rihanna's all-black look marked a modest detour from her first PFW pick, a tinseled skirt set at Matières Fécales.

Fast forward to the weekend, and even more newcomers joined the celebrity Fashion Week circuit. Lili Reinhart, for one, returned to Miu Miu in a luscious leopard-print coat; the Off Campus star Mika Abdalla attended her first fashion show in a semi-sheer Valentino slip; and Zimmermann ended Sarah Snook's year-long Fashion Month hiatus with a backless denim dress.

It seems high-profile fashion people were determined to set an even higher style standard for the Fall/Winter 2027 season than the one before. So, soak up all of the celebrity looks that Paris Fashion Week had to offer, because they'll need to last you until next February.

Zendaya at Louis Vuitton

Zendaya sourced her own archives for the Louis Vuitton show, wearing French-girl denim with the ruffled jacket she debuted at the Paris premiere of The Odyssey earlier in the year.

Sophie Turner at Louis Vuitton

At Louis Vuitton, Sophie Turner made a case for brown-and-blue styling in a two-tone leather jacket, aquamarine-colored trousers, and a chocolate (borderline burgundy) bag.

Emma Stone at Louis Vuitton

Emma Stone proved cobalt blue is her color in a structured skirt suit, featuring razor-sharp shoulders, no shirt, and an asymmetrical skirt. Louis Vuitton's elongated Blossom Necklace traded places with a traditional button-down.

Wunmi Mosaku at Louis Vuitton

Wunmi Mosaku's beige-and-brown trio was rich in every sense of the word, especially the subtle monogrammed print that peeked out from beneath her flowy poncho.

Lisa at Louis Vuitton

Blackpink's Lisa played with proportions at Louis Vuitton: voluminous purple ruffles made her dark denim corset pop, while the leather mini skirt and wedges matched her top-handle tote.

Dua Lipa at Chanel

At Chanel, Dua Lipa supported Matthieu Blazy, the designer of her glamorous wedding dress, in a ruby, peach, and bridal-white sheath dress from the Cruise 2027 collection.

Nicole Kidman at Chanel

While Nicole Kidman's voice echoed over the speakers at the Grand Palais, she watched from the front row in a runway-ready, shoulder-padded blazer dress. She accessorized with Omega's Constellation Manhattan Watch.

Alexa Demie at Chanel

Alexa Demie was the picture of '80s-inspired glamour in a glossy, quilted jacket and a mini skirt. The Euphoria actor's slingback cap-toe pumps were just as shiny.

Paloma Elsesser at Chanel

Before fully committing to her winter white wardrobe, Paloma Elsesser dipped her toe into the trend with fringed tweed fashion, featuring a high-collar jacket and a skintight pencil skirt (a Fashion Month favorite).

Ayo Edebiri at Chanel

Ayo Edebiri delivered the best little black dress at Paris Fashion Week, complete with white trim along the thigh-sweeping hem. The actor's cap-toe pumps, east-west bag, and cropped gingham jacket continued the black-and-white color story.

Ella Rubin at Chanel

Ella Rubin's Sterling Point character, Annie, sported a slew of Chanel on Season One of the hit Prime Video show. So, she looked right at home at Blazy's show, wearing a three-quarter-length shirt, a red pencil skirt, and the high-vamp heels.

Sarah Snook at Zimmermann

For her first Paris Fashion Week show of the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Sarah Snook debuted a backless halter-neck number at Zimmermann. While the fabric might look black, it's actually a super dark shade of indigo.

Zoey Deutch at Zimmermann

Zoey Deutch wore a breezy long-sleeve turtleneck dress at Zimmermann, but the black triangular bodice gave the illusion that it was more fitted.

Katie Holmes at Gabriela Hearst

Katie Holmes and her boyfriend, Jason Bard Yarmosky, continued their Fashion Month style series at Gabriela Hearst. The Dawson's Creek actor styled a black turtleneck and a matching leather midi skirt with pointy ivory pumps.

Cynthia Erivo at Valentino

Valentino's Alessandro Michele asked his guests to bring their favorite book to the Spring 2027 show (all of which were donated to local Parisian libraries). Cynthia Erivo, for one, brought Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin—and shade-matched the raspberry red cover to her quilted Valentino bag. She finished the front-row look with a peekaboo bra, a fur coat, and a sequined pencil skirt.

Naomi Watts at Valentino

After Naomi Watts dropped Jane Eyre by Emily Brontë in the donation bin at the Sainte-Geneviève Library, she posed in a shoulder-padded, bow-embellished mini dress, lacy brown tights, and purple Rockstud Pumps.

Mika Abdalla at Valentino

The Off Campus actor made quite an impression at her first fashion show, pulling off the green-and-purple color combination with an airy Valentino dress and a floral brooch.

Samara Weaving at Valentino

Samara Weaving sported the graphic tee trend at Valentino, tucking a cobalt blue shirt into a classic, belted pair of black trousers. The Australian actor accessorized with red Rockstud Pumps that blended into the library's red carpet.

Lili Reinhart at Miu Miu

It seems Lili Reinhart's final outfit on The Love Hypothesis press tour—Miu Miu's recreation of the pink dress in 1998's My Date With the President’s Daughter—scored her a seat at the recent runway show. Looking every bit a rom-com main character, Reinhart layered a lingerie-style slip dress beneath a leopard-print coat. Her accessories? Open-toe mules and the Miu Miu Arcadie Bag.

Alexa Chung at Miu Miu

Alexa Chung migrated Fashion Month's pencil skirt trend to Miu Miu, pairing a distressed satin style with a white camisole, a striped sweater jacket, and the celebrity-beloved Vivant Bag.

McKenna Grace at Miu Miu

McKenna Grace may be playing Daphne in Netflix's new live-action Scooby Doo series, but she channeled Barbie's signature shades at Miu Miu. She stacked a striped rugby shirt beneath a bubblegum pink skirt set, before finishing with the same black accessories as Reinhart.

Joey King at Miu Miu

Joey King made her satin, pale pink slip dress surprisingly moody with an oversized black jacket, blackout sunglasses, and the most popular peep-toe pumps among Miu Miu's Gen-Z guests.

Maude Apatow at Miu Miu

Maude Apatow doubled up on cool-girl layers at Miu Miu's show, wearing a baby blue button-down, a camel-colored cardigan, and a charcoal gray suit. For her finishing touches, the Euphoria actor coordinated her peekaboo belt to Miu Miu's Vivant Bag.

Venus Williams at Lacoste

Lacoste's longtime global ambassador, Venus Williams, channeled her sister's affinity for sporty cobalt blue styling. The unmissable color trend covered the tennis legend's polo sweater, leather shorts, and calf-length coat, while her shoulder bag matched a tennis ball shade of neon green. She deserves extra applause for her heeled soccer cleats.

Paris Hilton at Elie Saab

This Paris Fashion Week, naked dress sightings have been slim to none, but Paris Hilton picked up the see-through slack at Elie Saab. Her bejeweled black lingerie was visible beneath her long-sleeve, turtleneck gown's sheer floral lace.

Tracee Ellis Ross at Celine

To make the relaxed drawstring pants trend Paris Fashion Week-worthy, Tracee Ellis Ross coupled her balloon bottoms with a classic crewneck sweater and stark white leather boots.

Tate McRae at Schiaparelli

Despite looking like a regular in creative director Daniel Roseberry's front row, Tate McRae attended her first Schiaparelli show on Oct. 1. The pop star embodied Old Hollywood elegance in a fitted, button-free blazer and silky column skirt.

Naomi Ackie at Schiaparelli

Naomi Ackie's single-sleeved black dress hypnotized spectators at the Schiaparelli showcase. Thousands of intricately placed pleats came together to create one of the most interesting gowns at Paris Fashion Week.

Cynthia Erivo at Chloé

No matter which show she attends, Erivo shape-shifts her personal style to match the creative director's vision. At Chloé, the actor went full boho mode, pairing polka dots with stripes and florals, before popping a raspberry red bag against her black poplin skirt.

Maude Apatow at Chloé

You didn't need the Chloé-branded backdrop to determine Apatow's next fashion show: her lace-trimmed, lemon sweater dress, platform clogs, and chocolate Paddington Bag brought Chloé-core to life.

Sarah Pidgeon at Balenciaga

Months after starring in the Spanish brand's Fall 2026 campaign film, Sarah Pidgeon made her Balenciaga debut in a peplum leather jacket, split-hem jeans, and her beloved Rodeo Bag in a fresh chestnut-colored suede for fall.

Shailene Woodley at Balenciaga

No, you're not seeing things: Pidgeon and Shailene Woodley followed almost identical outfit formulas at Balenciaga. Woodley, however, chose a classic brown bomber jacket to offset the grunginess of her jeans. She accessorized with gold hoop earrings, matching bangles, and a Balenciaga Le City Bag.

Jennifer Lopez at Stella McCartney

For her first Stella McCartney show, Jennifer Lopez sourced the Fall 2026 collection for a business-ready blend of browns. The singer styled a belted, fur-trimmed top with a matching pencil skirt, pointy pumps, and an elongated stole that touched the catwalk behind her.

Kelsea Ballerini at Stella McCartney

Kelsea Ballerini also made her Stella McCartney debut at the recent spring show, wearing the equestrian stirrup leggings trend with a surprisingly sporty windbreaker.

Sabrina Elba at Balmain

Sabrina Elba's jeans made waves at the Balmain showcase, but not just because of their barrel-style silhouette. The Canadian model's cropped leather jacket perfectly complemented her pants' pleated waistband, which is worth zooming in on.

Zoë Kravitz at Saint Laurent

Staying true to her affinity for lacy black looks, Zoë Kravitz found her rightful place in Saint Laurent's front row (one she claimed a decade ago). Team Marie Claire couldn't help but notice the similarities between this skirt set and her 2026 Met Gala gown, also from Saint Laurent.

Amber Valletta at Saint Laurent

Amber Valletta wasn't afraid to show some skin at the Saint Laurent show, going braless beneath a black semi-sheer bodysuit and a velvet wrap-style skirt.

Kate Moss at Saint Laurent

Speaking of supermodels, Kate Moss's all-black look seemed to be the most modest at the Saint Laurent showcase. She shielded herself in luscious velvet before breaking up the jumpsuit with a leather gold-buckle belt.

Zoe Saldaña at Saint Laurent

Believe it or not, Zoe Saldaña's Saint Laurent look was even more transparent than Kravitz's. The actor's underwear was on full display beneath her glittery, lace-trimmed little black dress.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Saint Laurent

At the Fall 2026 show last March, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley walked the runway in a long-sleeve bodysuit and pencil skirt. While the supermodel was absent from the Spring 2027 lineup, she made up for it in the front row in this, yes, also sheer look.

Rihanna at Dior

Rihanna's all-black look at Dior was anything but basic. She layered what seemed to be a fur stole over the little black dress that minimalists dream of. The singer's dripping-in-diamonds anklet tied the entire look together.

Jennifer Lawrence at Dior

Jennifer Lawrence skipped Dior's last two runway shows, but all was forgiven as soon as she arrived at the Spring 2027 soirée. She chose a cool blue, nightgown-style slip dress from the Cruise 2027 collection. For accessories, the Oscar winner shade-matched her slingback pumps to a Lady D-Joy Bag.

Rosalía at Dior

Known for her avant-garde approach to glamour, Rosalía shocked fans in a surprisingly understated black gown at the Dior show. But the larger-than-life flower that secured her skirt's delicate drapery felt on-brand for the pop star.

Anya Taylor-Joy at Dior

At Dior, Anya Taylor-Joy gave her sleek pencil skirt a not-so-corporate twist by layering an entirely transparent cape-style top from the Cruise 2027 collection on top.

Greta Lee at Dior

Proving that capri pants aren't just a street style staple but a high-fashion fixture, Greta Lee stacked a silky pink pair beneath an ivory blazer for Dior.

Cynthia Erivo at Dior

Weeks after Erivo shut down the Toronto Film Festival in a Dior Cruise 2027 robe-style gown, the actor scored a front-row seat at Anderson's latest showcase. She sourced the same collection for an extra-long Oxford shirt, a textured black maxi skirt, and an ivory-and-tomato-red boa, which spiced up the otherwise straightforward color story. Erivo's plus-one was a relatively underrated Small Dior Toujours Hobo Bag.

Karlie Kloss at Dior

Karlie Kloss was all smiles at the Dior show. The French fashion house dressed her in a fitted, collarless blazer and a tiered skirt covered in baby blue ruffles, which resembled the 77-year-old Junon Dress.

Rihanna at Matières Fécales

Not only did Matières Fécales add Zendaya to its celebrity client list this year (see: her full-length wings at The Odyssey premiere in NYC), but Rihanna boarded the brand's bandwagon, too. She supported the founders, Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran, at the recent spring show, styling a tangerine-tinted skirt set made of tinsel. The Grammy winner deserves additional applause for pairing the look with pointy pumps from the Matières Fécales x Christian Louboutin collaboration.

After posing with her co-star, Anne Hathaway, outside the AMC Lincoln Square Theater, Johnson traveled south to Lattanzi Cucina Italiana, the home of SNL's Tuesday evening dinners. The pre-show soirée doesn't seem to honor a dress code: Olivia Rodrigo styled a sheer polka-dot dress, Ariana Grande put comfort first in a cloud-like puffer coat and the Dior Cigale Bag, and Harry Styles flaunted his new Chanel Maxi Flap from Métiers d'Art Spring 2026.

With that said, Johnson kept it casual (for her) in straight-leg Levi's jeans, The Row's black Fay Wool Flats, and a $6,300 navy blue blazer from Valentino's Fall 2025 runway show. The fitted, shoulder-padded jacket featured familiar brown fur along the collar, a hook-and-eye closure, and cuffs—an adornment that, last year, stood out to Jennifer Lawrence (another SNL alum) and Kendall Jenner, too.

Not only did Johnson have time to change into a cool-girl going-out top, but she also switched her red-carpet Roberto Coin jewelry for five-figure hoop earrings, a snake-shaped ring, and a diamond pendant necklace, courtesy of Jessica McCormack (the London jeweler behind Zendaya's engagement ring).

Now, back to her Valentino jacket. It's not unusual to see Johnson (creative director Alessandro Michele's most devoted brand ambassador) in a lavish Valentino look on the street style circuit. What is surprising is that Lawrence debuted this exact design back in Dec. 2025. While the rest of her date night attire remained beneath a martini-laden table at Moda Operandi's dinner, the Fall 2025 find stole the show.

Days later at a holiday party in L.A., the same investment style finished Jenner's seasonal look. Instead of jeans à la Johnson, the supermodel sampled the stirrup leggings trend (from the celebrity-beloved L.A. label Leset) alongside The Row's burgundy Dalia Bag and black kitten-heel mules, also by the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen brand. At the time, fashion editor Lauren Tappan told me the "festive" outfit "delivered an undeniable dose of elegance," one that she channeled at a holiday party of her own.

And just like that, the sisterhood of the traveling Valentino jacket continues. Which celebrity closet will welcome the navy-and-brown number next? Maybe Johnson will put the piece on Taylor Swift's radar: In the "Patient Zero" music video, Johnson and Swift twinned in a butter-yellow gown by the Italian brand. Perhaps it will play a part in the pop star's holiday wardrobe, too.

The longtime brand ambassador skipped Dior's two most recent runway shows, but she has clearly kept tabs on creative director Jonathan Anderson's collections: Lawrence arrived at Dior Day in a lace-trimmed slip dress from the Cruise 2027 showcase, featuring the skinniest white straps, an open back, baby blue silk brocade, and delicate drapery that made the skirt's silhouette asymmetrical.

Embracing the effortless, cool-girl energy of the nightgown trend, J.Law accessorized with black sunglasses, the celebrity-beloved Heeled Slingback Sandals, the Lady D-Joy Bag, and just enough jewelry to complement the look without taking away from its etherealness. The satin on her bow-tied stilettos, as well as the top-handle tote's quilted leather, was shade-matched to her lingerie-looking dress.

Lawrence is no stranger to styling custom Dior looks on the red carpet. (See: her black tuxedo-type dress at the 2025 Gotham Awards and the ivory corset gown at the 2025 Governors Awards.) Her decades-long loyalty doesn't just ensure access to the designs, but the ability to tailor them to her liking, too.

Case in point: The Oscar winner's slip dress stopped just below the ankles—not the knees, like on the Cruise 2027 runway. She also skipped the fitted, lace-trimmed blazer, sculpted from the same glossy blue shade; the petal-covered, orange-and-red clutch; and the Heeled Slingback Sandals in dark indigo.

Contrary to the crisp tailored co-ords that Lawrence styled at previous Dior shows, her latest look was an understated surprise. But being the trendsetter that she is, she has never limited her lingerie to her pajama drawer. Satin matching sets, easy-breezy drawstring bottoms, or lace-trimmed LBDs are regulars in her everyday rotation.

And she's not the only A-lister with a soft spot for nightgown styling: Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hailey Bieber share the same tastes in slip dresses. To wear the nightgown trend beyond your bed, shop similar designs from H&M, Dôen, and more below.

While it's unclear if J.Law will return to Dior's front row at Paris Fashion Week next week, she's currently staying loyal to the label from afar. Paparazzi spotted the Oscar winner wearing fall's flannel shirt trend (which Dakota Johnson endorsed last week), a chocolate-colored suede coat, and The Row's cult-classic Margaux Bag. Then, the Dior Ribbon Sneakers revealed themselves beneath the extra-long hems of her navy blue bottoms.

Sculpted from white cotton and suede calfskin, they're one of the slimmest trainer styles in Dior's catalog. The style features an embroidered lowercase logo on the tongue and heel, with J'Adior-inspired scalloped-edge ribbons—a signature of the brand's popular slingback heels—on the sidewalls. The sole width lands somewhere between the almost invisible, ballet slipper-style treads on the Cœur Sneaker and the platform Walk'n'Dior trainers.

Lawrence began publicly building her Dior sneaker collection in 2017, five years into her brand ambassadorship. The pair that started her obsession? Dior's no-longer-sold D-Bee Sneakers, which featured a low-top silhouette, embroidered "CD" initials, and a silkscreen print of the memorable bee motif.

The Hunger Games actor wore the D-Bees on repeat until 2021, when the Travel Sneaker became unmissable on her many Manhattan strolls. She paired the style—which blended white leather, ivory mesh, and rubber soles—with everything from mini dresses to laid-back leggings and a circa-2021 tie-dye Dior jumpsuit.

Sure, J.Law has a soft spot for Dior sneakers. That's not to say she doesn't dabble in the more affordable worlds of Adidas, Nike, and Salomon, though. This year, she rotated between the split-toe Nike Air Rifts, Salomon's Mary Jane sneakers, and the celebrity-beloved Adidas Tokyos. For some of Lawrence's favorite trainers and the Dior Ribbons in additional colors, peruse the cool-girl collection below.

During a solo outing on September 11, Lawrence opted for a pair of Sperry boat shoes in light tan leather—the perfect footwear choice for the changing seasons. Boat shoes have been particularly popular in the closets of New York City It girls, and the actress has been wearing her pair in recent weeks.

The Silver Linings Playbook star also hopped on the aqua blue color trend with a long-sleeve sweater, which she rolled up at the sleeves. She layered the sweater over a sheer, floaty peach skirt or dress.

For accessories, Lawrence carried a vintage Hermès Kelly Bag in Black Shiny Crocodile Leather with gold hardware. The well-worn item, carried with its clasp open, usually trades hands for tens of thousands of dollars. It's clear the actress is pretty attached to the exceedingly chic bag.

A long gold snake necklace and a pair of black sunglasses completed the Die My Love star's outfit.

Both Chopra and Lawrence are regularly ahead of the curve when it comes to current style trends, so their twinning Dior outfits make a lot of sense.

Chopra wore a jaw-dropping dress from Dior's Resort 2027 collection featuring a high-neck silhouette and a ruffled crepe torso with a drop-waist. Large white crepe flowers adorned the dress's waist, before flowing into a black and white flared skirt.

The actress accessorized her statement-making dress with a Mini Dior Toujours Hobo Bag and a pair of slingback open-toe pumps.

For the occasion, Lawrence opted for Dior's Bar Jacket in Black Wool and Silk, which retails for $6,000, and matching pants. She carried a long-since sold-out Dior Cigale Bag, also in black, which is beloved by pop star royalty like Ariana Grande, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift.

For footwear, the Oscar winner appeared to be wearing a pair of Fortuny's Ballerina Flats in velvet with gold motifs, before changing into a pair of pointed-toe black pumps.

Basically, Chopra and Lawrence have made it clear that you can't go wrong with a little black outfit from Dior.

For one of her first sandal-free street style looks all summer, Lawrence's favorite flip-flops and Adidas slides traded places with a more transitional footwear trend. She layered a khaki-colored windbreaker over a white button-down, a bubblegum pink sweatshirt tied around her waist, tomato red trousers, and (what appeared to be) boat shoes by the Massachusetts-based brand Sperry.

The $110 golden brown pair was as classic as the silhouette gets, complete with loafer-length vamps, eyelets along the sidewalls, and lace-up toe boxes. Lawrence's slippers came with extra-supportive rubber soles, perfect for a never-ending boat day or a 10,000-step stroll in New York City.

Of course this isn't the first time Lawrence dipped her toe into boat shoe styling: After all, the circa-1935 silhouette initially made waves on Miu Miu's Spring 2024 runway, before Loewe, Monse, Jacquemus, Louis Vuitton, and more revived them for Spring 2025 and 2026.

Back in January 2025, J.Law started the new year in The Row's Lucca Flats: a suede cross between moccasins and boat shoes, which retailed for $1,190. Thanks to their shearling lining, the hybrid shoe isn't exactly a summer-to-fall mainstay. So, the Silver Linings Playbook star switched to leather boat shoes.

Perhaps Lawrence was inspired by Harry Styles or model Taylor Hill and their recent boat shoe sightings. Early in the year, Hill boarded a flight out of France in a baggy biker jacket, black trousers, and a studded take on the trend.

Meanwhile, as recently as last week, Styles wore the It shoes (in soft brown leather with statement white socks) while strutting toward his Madison Square Garden show. That said, it's only a matter of time before a similar style sails onto Zoë Kravitz's shoe rack. The engaged couple has influenced each other's taste in footwear before, as proven by their Adidas sneakers and soft loafers.

For Fall 2026, giving summer staples an autumnal twist is one of the overarching style themes. Case in point: The recent uptick in striped Breton shirts, fisherman sweaters, and boat shoes. To start fashion fishing for the boat shoe trend, 2026 edition, taste-test the Marie Claire-approved pairs below.

But over the past few years, the fashion world has made a very convincing case for taking them to the streets. As drawstring and pull-on cotton pants have become a bona fide trend, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, and Laura Harrier have laid the groundwork, styling them in intentionally relaxed ways that don’t scream “I just ran out for coffee.” Paired with button-downs, blazers, ballet flats, designer bags, and other pieces I’d normally save for actual trousers or jeans, the humble bottoms suddenly looked surprisingly put-together.

So, I decided it was time to test my own fashion prejudice. Could the pants I associate most with staying in actually become something I’d wear out? This week, I’m finding out.

Drawstring Pants Are Leaving the Couch

Over the past few years, as relaxed silhouettes have displaced rigid tailoring on the runways, pull-on pants have moved beyond their loungewear associations and into everyday wardrobes. No longer reserved solely for lounging, these loose, breathable styles are now getting the dressed-up treatment with new fabrications (see: satin and taffeta), silhouettes (barrel-leg, cargo), and every color imaginable.

On the street style circuit, celebrities have helped push the trend even further, turning drawstring pants into a certifiable It-girl uniform. Kaia Gerber paired blue drawstring trousers with ballet flats and a Balenciaga City bag at the end of 2024, while Jennifer Lawrence wore wide-leg black pull-on pants with a trench and Loewe sneakers a few months later. This summer, Hadid made beige drawstring pants feel airport-ready with suede loafers and a Miu Miu bag, while Sofia Richie Grainge styled a pair with knitwear and slim trainers for a recent trip to Tokyo.

How I Style It

Perhaps no brand is more synonymous with drawstring pants right now than celebrity favorite Leset. The L.A.-based label, whose pants feature elasticized waists only, released its Kyoto Pants years before the trend took over. Since then, everyone from Gerber and Lawrence to Katie Holmes has worn the style.

For a day of work meetings, I styled Gerber’s exact pair. To balance the bright cobalt color and the relaxed barrel-leg silhouette, I leaned into a more corporate uniform on top with a button-front shirt and blazer. The cropped fit of the TWP shirt solved the tuck-it-in-or-leave-it-out dilemma, while the drawcord detail on the Smythe blazer subtly echoed the waist ties. For this look, I traded my soft loafers for even softer (and trendier) Derby-style jazz shoes from the also-Gerber-approved brand Repetto. I finished the workwear look with a purse from another A-lister-endorsed name Cuyana and silver hoop earrings from my go-to affordable jewelry brand Jenny Bird.

For nighttime, I contrasted the utilitarian silhouette of the pant with a form-fitting going-out top. I then doubled down on the dressiness with heeled shoes from Nomasei. A wedge flip-flop or sandal would also be a fun alternative, playing up the Y2K, Rachel Green-esque look of the cargos. I’ve been loving this season’s colorblocking trend, so I added a Prada handbag (a reissue model which further winked to the 2000s) in red to contrast graphically with the cobalt blue. Statement earrings and cocktail rings finished off the outfit that could go from dinner to late-night drinks.

After a day and night of wearing drawstring pants out, I’m officially reconsidering my indoor pants as outerwear. You still won’t catch me wearing my outside clothes at home, though.

“The idea was creating clothes that were comfortable enough to wear at home and nice to wear out,” Chemla tells Marie Claire. At the time, she says, fashion offered ready-to-wear on one end and pajamas and loungewear on the other, with little in the space between. When she took the concept to department stores, buyers weren’t quite sure what to make of it. “They were like, ‘We can't put you on the ready-to-wear floor. We can't put you on the lingerie floor. Where do we put you? We need a floor in between,’” she remembers.

Seven years later, Leset has no shortage of places to go. Net-a-Porter was one of the brand’s earliest supporters; today, it is also sold at Nordstrom, Shopbop, Bloomingdale’s, and more, as well as its own stores in New York’s West Village and L.A.’s Palisades Village. Its signature styles, from the Margo T-shirt to the Kyoto Carpenter Pant, have wound up on everyone from Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes to Kaia Gerber and Emma Stone.

You could credit the pandemic for blurring the line between clothes worn at home and everywhere else, or "quiet luxury" for fashion’s renewed obsession with deceptively simple wardrobe staples. But that would be overlooking the foresight of Chemla, who had already bet on the shift before either entered the zeitgeist.

Leset was born out of how she wanted to get dressed: “I didn't feel as though there was a brand that accomplished that for me at all.” The proposition was simple: fashion that felt good enough to spend all day in without looking like house clothes. Yet by taking something so basic as a good white T-shirt or a satin slip skirt seriously, Leset has ended up giving women exactly what they increasingly want. “I'm constantly just observing women, and how they're dressing, and how they're wanting to dress,” Chemla says. “And more and more women are wanting to dress in a way that makes them feel comfortable and allows them to move throughout their days with ease.”

If that sounds obvious in 2026, that's precisely the point. Consider fashion’s current fixation on easy cotton pants. Leset has been making them since the beginning. “This idea of pull-on pants that feels overly trendy right now is just our norm,” Chemla says. The brand doesn't make traditional pants with rigid waistbands, buttons, or zippers, Chemla explains; elastic and drawstrings have always been fundamental to its vocabulary. Even the Kyoto Carpenter Pant, which could easily be mistaken for Leset responding to the current appetite for barrel-leg, utilitarian trousers, has been in the collection for years. “It's maybe something that seems newer on the market, but it's been a staple for us for so long now,” Chemla says.

Chemla would rather make a piece that survives a trend cycle than one engineered to capitalize on it. “It's less about creating pieces of the now and more about creating pieces that women are going to want to buy and still want to see in their wardrobe 10 to 20 years from now,” she says. “So we focus really on those timeless pieces as opposed to the pieces that come and go.”

That philosophy has earned Leset perhaps the most convincing endorsement possible: Women with virtually unlimited access to fashion keep coming back to it. Lawrence has repeatedly worn the brand’s Margo tee and Yoko line. Gerber has made the Kyoto Carpenter and Arielle Pocket pants part of her off-duty wardrobe. Hailey Bieber, Dakota Johnson, Holmes, and others have all been photographed in Leset pieces—and, importantly, often more than once. Chemla says the A-list following wasn't orchestrated. “The celebrity adoption has happened so organically for us,” she says. “We have celebrities stopping into our store all the time to shop and just pick up and replenish their wardrobes.”

Early on, the first celebrity sighting felt monumental. Chemla remembers discovering Kylie Jenner had worn a Leset set and studying the photos with her team to make sure they weren't mistaken. “We just kept zooming into it, and we were 100 percent certain it was ours, but we almost just couldn't believe it,” she says. Celebrity sightings are considerably less surprising these days. “It's become such a natural part of the business,” Chemla says. “Obviously, we're so grateful for that because that has an incredible impact, but it hasn't necessarily been the focus of the brand.”

Perhaps that lack of focus on celebrity is exactly why Leset has become so ubiquitous among them. The brand’s clothes don’t require a styling team to make sense of them. They're what famous women wear in the decidedly un-famous parts of their lives: grabbing coffee, getting on planes, or running errands (though there have been plenty of Leset red carpet appearances, too).

Meanwhile, the rest of fashion has increasingly entered the category retailers once couldn't figure out how to merchandise, with a new “Leset pant” dupe popping up on my feed every month. Chemla isn't particularly concerned about competitors. “For us, it's really about just staying in our lane with our blinders on and not looking at what other people are doing and how they're doing it,” she says. Her analogy is: “It's like driving on a highway, and we're just on cruise control in the HOV lane, and people are coming in and out.”

Staying in that lane has occasionally meant leaving money on the table. In Leset's early years, Chemla says wholesale partners approached the brand about exclusive colors and altered versions of its products—even asking whether Leset could add conventional closures to its pants. “It was hard,” she says. “Seeing those dollar signs in front of us and having to just say no in that moment, knowing that it would benefit the longevity and the long-term business overall was so important to where the business is now.”

That “restraint,” she says, became one of Leset's most important growth strategies. “We've never wanted to do something that doesn't feel like Leset just to do it because it might bring in a big sale in the moment.” Instead, decisions are considered in terms of how they might affect the company's identity five or 10 years down the line. Ironically, growth has given Chemla more freedom to be particular. When Leset launched, approximately 80 percent of its business was wholesale and 20 percent direct-to-consumer. Today, Chemla says, between 60 and 70 percent comes directly from its customers. “Making that flip was always the goal because it gave us more freedom to dictate what we were able to produce and not produce as a small business,” she says.

There were pieces Chemla wanted to make from the beginning that never reached shoppers in the early years. Leset's first collection, for instance, included a full-length, double-faced red cashmere coat. Buyers weren't willing to take a chance on the higher price point, and Leset was too small to fund the inventory itself, so it never made it. Now, the brand can make those decisions on its own. “Being able to produce those styles that wholesalers weren't necessarily backing before has been one of the most exciting parts for me in the past two or three years,” Chemla says. “It's given us freedom in terms of our voice.”

That freedom is showing up in higher-priced fabrics and outerwear—the new fall collection features a $2,000 camel hair car coat—and an expanding universe of accessories. Leset has introduced socks, shoes, and hats, with each category intended to build toward a complete wardrobe. “You'll always see us expanding into categories that just feel like natural wardrobe essentials,” Chemla says. “We really do want women to be able to get dressed in Leset head to toe.”

For all the brand has expanded, Chemla's barometer for what belongs in that closet remains personal. “Instinct is a big one for me and just my gut feeling,” she says. When Leset has made something she doesn't fully believe in—or wouldn't put in her own wardrobe—she says it has generally proved to be a mistake. So she continually returns to the same questions she asked at launch: Who is the Leset woman? What is she doing? How is she living? And what does she actually want to wear while doing it?

Seven years ago, department stores couldn't figure out where Leset's clothes belonged. Today, women wear elastic-waist trousers to work, under-$100 T-shirts with four-figure handbags, and clothes built for comfort just about everywhere. “I think that that gray space is now the norm,” Chemla says. “Which is very exciting—that we've built it into something that is widely accepted, wanted, and appreciated.”

Leset once needed retailers to create a floor in between. Instead, the rest of fashion moved there.
